Quote from: Slaky on June 04, 2013, 11:28:19 AMSo it's called the Red Wedding because of all the blood right? Feel like that's a decent giveaway as to what would occur.

No - it's called that because Cat was on her period when they slit her throat. These are the kind of details you're missing out on if you don't read the books.

Boy that's one bloody cat.

Last night on the Daily Show John Stewart referred to a bloody event and said, "...or as they refer to it in the 'Game of Thrones', a wedding."

No.  Mrs. CBStew doesn't watch G.O.T., so I started to explain the reference to her.  Have you ever tried to describe Game of Thrones to anyone?

That finale was as good as a third episode in a season. It was good, not finale good. I guess.

A lot of the HBO series, most-notably The Sopranos and GOT, land the haymaker in the second-to-last episode and then spend the last one tying up loose ends and setting the stage for next season.

Season one, Episode 9: Ned Stark is shortened by a head.
Season two, Episode 9: The Battle of Blackwater Beigh.
Season three Episode 9: King in the North? Heh!

The Red Wedding, Jon Snow's return, Stannis' change of direction, Bran's sojourn north of the wall and Dany's epic win out east have changed the game. More exciting shit is yet to come. Wait nine months or fire up the Kindle. Winter is coming and it's packing an uzi.

It was a great season - maybe the best season.

While The Wire never setup anything for the next season, all the haymakers were in the penultimate episode.  I believe all 5 penultimates were written by George Pellicanos as well.
